their are a number of solutions to this problem:
1)shoot all rioters on sight
2)release the dogs
3)use tear gas
4)use the water hose
5)use some of the new riot-control technology like the heatwave and sound stuff.
for best results, use them all.
Does anyone honestly think Pakistan should be invaded?

In a tiananmen square style? Add another couple of million to their numbers after that point.

Stupendous is the right word. (Might even add stupid to get it absolutely right.)
Completely in agreement with the OP; not quite sure why it gets posted though: "ordinary people" can think of the most emotional ideas that, in reality, will not be very practical. I don't really see how Pakistan might possibly agree to it - not too mention the repercussions that inevitably would follow. (The invasion of Iraq - on false pretsenses - did not reveal any al Quaeda connection, but did in fact promote terrorism hugely. As indeed such similar actions did indeed inspire al Qaeda - and bin Laden personally - in the first place...)

There's more oil in the Middle East than Pakistan.

While I have no love for Pakistan, (Personally, I think it should have never been carved out in the first place after WW2.) I do not see much point in anything like Operation Pakistani Freedom or whatever. The invasion part is not going to be the troublesome part for big guys like the US or India. Instead, what to do afterwards? Bear in mind that Pakistan is an even more complicated mess than places like Iraq or Afghanistan.
Now then, let's just say that we invade Pakistan. How to pacify that place? Too many ethnic groups coupled with religious mess, topped by miserable local politics. (Plenty of political games involving the Indian boogie man, but not a whole lot of political will to clean up Pakistan!) You have to simplify: Pick one faction at the expense of everyone else. Proceed to run series of pest control over the others. Genocide? Yes, indeed, but that would be something I would consider as a post-invasion option if I were in charge of invading Pakistan. Also, if the last thing you want is to deal with intractable local politics, then you do have to consider hosing down lots of people. After all, you do not have to worry about proper governance over dead people.

Keep in mind that Pakistan has 173 Million inhabitants. For comparison: Iraq has 29 Millions, Afghanistan has 25 Millions.

Invasion does not directly deal with the entire masses. Post-invasion occupations does. These two are two separate events.

Yeah. It made a lot more sense for the predominantly Muslim areas to be politically repressed by the Hindus once India gained independence from Britain.
Right. I'm sure they will simply forget they have nukes and cower in fear as they are overwhelmed by vastly superior US technology.
I find it ironic that you can see the obvious problems once they have been invaded and occupied, but you apparently could not forsee the same problems if they had remained as part of India in 1947.

I wonder which kind of good thing will come out of invading an unstable country with nukes, but...

It doesn't even need the Americans to come and screw it up, it is capable of collapsing into an Iraq-type excuse for a country on its own, just give it some time...

Very strange that someone else would advocate a war that I would not.
Why would someone advocate invading Pakistan (who is working with us to get control of their country) and NOT Iran??
If you mean invade the NW territories with the help of the Pakistani army, maybe; but I think we can deal with the remaining cave-dwellers quite well with Pakistani scouts and drones.

I guess the social liberal in you wants to inflict freedom and liberty on some Muslims but not on others. And it appears to be based solely on whether or not their are friendly with us. Or does oil enter into it as well?
